BMS EAST Team Teddy members Braxton Jarrett, Oden O’Gorek, and Blake Dombeck pass the baton “so to speak” to student Layla White for her dog Teddy; a prosthesis leg they designed and printed in EAST. Teddy lost a leg due to an accident and the team is hoping this will be beneficial. We wish Teddy all the best in this first fitting of the 3D prosthetic leg.
